Copying for teaching

There is an exception in UK copyright law which allows reuse of copyright works for the purposes of instruction. Please see Copyright and Teaching for further information.

In addition, the University holds a number of licences which allow us to copy materials for the purposes of teaching. From 2nd June 2014 all digitisation requests should be submitted via readinglists@Leicester .

For published books, journals and some magazines, our Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) licence allows us to photocopy or scan, subject to certain restrictions:

Material must be limited to one chapter or 5% of a book or one article from a journal issue

We must hold a copy of the source print publication in the Library

We must use the most up to date edition that we hold

The publishers must not have opted out of the licence

All scanning must be reported to the CLA*

All scans must contain a cover sheet*

All scans must be made available via a password protected environment (such as Blackboard)
